Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

12 ounces rotini pasta

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spatula to break it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.

      Make the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, push the beef to one side and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if using), and combine with the beef.

        Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained rotini to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce until well coated. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Beef and Rotini in Garlic Parmesan Sauce!
